Parasamgate bodhisvaha When I finally start seeing the world in color When the laws of the earth supercede law and order And I'm finally tired of drowning in whiskey And I stop sitting and wishing And start doing and feeling When I'm OK with the man I love not calling When I'm OK with the man I love suddenly dying When I'm deaf and blind And everything I love is gone When it's all gone When it's all gone Divine wisdom remains When everything I love is gone When it's all gone When it's all gone Divine wisdom remains

Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu You say you wanna be happy You say you wanna be free What would it take to get happy? What would it take? You say you wanna be peaceful You say you wanna be light What would you give up to get peaceful? Would you give up being right? Being right or just being Being right or just being Being right or just being Being Being Being

about

“Reclamation” fearlessly mixes ancient Sanskrit mantras with Stephanie’s rebellious nature that defies the typical new-age genres.

“I am asking the questions ‘what does it take to be happy and truly free?’” she says. The 4-song EP entitled "Reclamation: A Collection of Mantras" boasts an in-the-moment electricity seldom experienced with devotional music. The track “Lokah Samastah” simmers with touches of Afro-beat, chiming guitars, dreamy harmony vocals, and slow-burn soulful vocals.

Here, set against traditional texts, Stephanie challenges what it takes to be an enlightened spirit. Her rendition of “Hare Krishna” is like no other. Stephanie brings the otherworldly composition to street level with brawny rock guitars, and surging and passionate singing.

Other tracks favor ambitious arrangements with mesmerizing ethereal touches, sweetly soulful vocals, and forays into majestic rock epic territory.
